Current News for Members
Two of our upcoming trials have been postponed pending new dates. At this time, no new dates have been selected.
The Miami Valley Sheltie Club AKC Agility Trial set for March 28-29th has been postponed.
The WCRL Rally trial sponsored by CCC set for April 4-5th has also been postponed.
Due to the extreme circumstances from the COVID-19 outbreak, the current class session has been completely canceled. Refunds for PayPal payments will be issued automatically, Checks will be shredded, and vouchers will be credited.
At this time, Session 3 is unpredictable. Watch for future emails on when we will be able to open for regular business again.
Because of the unpredictability of the future, many of our trials are expected to cancel. Again, the website event calendar will be updated as I receive clear confirmation of cancellations. Please do not continue to ask questions on the facebook page, as it is a public forum where any may read it. If you truly feel the need to ask questions, contact me at [email protected]
Until we are able to safely play with our dogs together again, please take care of your family, furry and otherwise.

Agility Run-Thrus for March 20th have been canceled at this time.
Other run-thrus have not yet been canceled. Please watch the online event calendar on gcdoc.com for updated information.
There have been some questions about building usage during the Class suspension. Please do treat it like Christmas or Summer break. The building is open to small groups when it is not in use or being set up for trials and cleaning. For safety reasons, we do ask that you practice with a friend or two. When uncertain, as always, please check the calendar on the website, it will be kept accurate and as up to date as possible, however, I will not be sending out emails every time it is busy.
Please be respectful of the cleaning supplies at the building. The cabinet in the ladies restroom holds all the supplies we have, and the trials at this point are not being canceled. WE NEED THOSE SUPPLIES FOR THOSE TRIALS. When ever possible, please bring your own hand sanitizer and/or gloves with you.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. Please stay safe and respect that not everyone may be as healthy as you.
Due to the recent announcement from the Governor of Ohio declaring that all large group meetings of 100 people are more are banned, and the fact that we regularly have 100 people in and out of our building every day, we feel it best that we suspend classes for the time being.
At this time we are unclear on how long the suspension will last, and what actions we will take to “make right” any payments made for classes. Please be patient with us while we protect our families first, and make non-life threatening choices later.
Instructors – Please call your students and let them know that we are suspending classes for the time being, with more information to follow.
Thursday evening instructors– please cancel classes if you are available to do so, if not, please run your classes and inform them that future classes are suspended.
For questions/concerns on class refunds or for requesting a refund, please email: [email protected]
Please DO NOT email if you just want a credit. Credits will automatically be given to those who do not wish a refund.
With regret,
Chris Kiefer – President, Gem City Dog Obedience Club

This is a special note for anyone using the refrigerator and kitchen items at Northcutt. Clearly label and date items with a long shelf life that you would like to reserve for your own temporary use, or the use of a training class. At completion of the event you are volunteering/providing hospitality support for, remove, give away, dispose of, all short shelf life food (2 weeks or less) remaining. Please try to keep the storage cabinet, (paper products food storage containers), neat and orderly. Thanks.
